We have a 2017 R Pod 178 with the large table and corner cushions. We have only converted the table into an extra bed twice in 4 years and we thought that the corner cushions consumed a lost of space. So we converted them into storage bins.

The attached photos include a diagram of the dimensions and the various stages of construction. L

Very clever. Lots of volume to put lots of stuff. Thinking wine rack, dirty clothes, cat, bratty child... ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Nice job! And what a great idea. I tossed those cushions right away because it's too hard to sit there and they do take up a lot of room. I wish I'd thought of your solution. ------------- Julie |

Great fix to a 'wasted space' area. Nice work! ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

this is a great idea, I like the corner cushions but I definitely like the idea of some extra storage - the hard top of the cushions makes for a bit of an extra shelf to put your drink or snacks. Nicely done! ------------- 2017 RP-178 2021 F150 5.0l "Lead me on a level path" |

Look at all that expensive lumber in one place! Did you have to put the r-pod up as collateral on the mortgage?  ------------- r･pod 171 gone but not forgotten! |
